Keller Williams reviews

Individual offices can have dreadful management and cronyism Some of the Managing Brokers are a bit too focused on spending as little time as possible advising their agents when legal issues crop up. Additionally, they utter the words " Your client needs to hire an attorney" a bit too often There is a constant & intense pressure on team leader to recruit any warm body. They will often focus on Quantity over Quality. In a booming market we end up with people who shouldn't be in sales. Some team leaders will try and "steal" people you have recommended so you don't get the downline, they do. This is highly unethical. Favoritism: The Team Leaders and Managing Brokers make money in their downline for folks they brought in. They therefore will provide incoming sales leads only to people in their downline. Mentorship: Newbies are required to have a mentor who takes 25% of their first three transactions. Some of the Mentors are not up to the task, some are excellent. No oversight or standards for mentorship.

If KW spent as much time teaching and assisting brokers in getting and developing and closing business as they do talking about how rich everyone in the company is going to be it would be a real great opportunity. The seem to make income generating deals with multiple vendors and push their brokers to use the "partners" with little net gain to the brokers.
